(Piparcity) Nawab Ali Quereshi sacrificed’ his 4-year-old daughter in
the month of Ramadan in a case of human sacrifice in Pipar city, a municipality
in Jodhpur district, on Saturday. Quereshi is believed to have confessed to
slitting his daughter’s throat after reciting holy verses, Jodhpur Rural
Superintendent of Police Rajan Dushyant said on Sunday.

The 26-year-old took his daughter Rizwana to buy her
candy on Friday. While his family slept on the terrace of their home, he took
his daughter to a room on the ground floor, recited prayers and then slit her throat
and returned to the terrace to sleep,

His wife went looking for her missing daughter, and found
her lying motionless on the ground floor. She was taken to a hospital, which
declared her "dead”. Quereshi initially tried to convince his family
that a cat may have killed her, but then confessed to his crime after
he was arrested on his wife’s complaint.
